Before the Glow, After the Glow: Honey Girl Organics Post-Facial Tips

We all know the magic that facials, peels, and other professional skin care services can do for the skin. But did you know they also leave your skin more delicate and in need of extra care?

 

Recently, we’ve seen a few comments from users asking the Honey Girl team questions, such as, “Can I use Honey Girl Organics products post-facial or post-procedure?” The answer is yes, with a few simple guidelines to ensure your skin receives exactly what it needs to heal and thrive during this time.

 

Before Your Appointment: Prepping with Honey Girl

 

Think of pre-treatment care as setting the stage for your skin.

 

A few days leading up to your appointment, we suggest:

 

Keep it gentle. We love switching to our Foaming Facial Wash before a procedure. It’s super light on the skin and helps remove impurities without stripping.

 

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Moisturized skin responds better to treatments, so layer on Face & Eye Crème or Super Skin Food on those extra dry or flaky patches.

 

Skip the scrubs. Avoid exfoliating masks or scrubs 2-3 days before your appointment. We want your skin to be soft, hydrated, and barrier-strong for the best treatment results, so holding off on exfoliation is always the best practice.

 

24 Hours After Your Facial or Procedure

 

Your skin barrier will be more sensitive, so think of your post-care routine as the “healing mode.”

 

Do’s:

• Soothe with moisture. Opt for the Face & Eye Crème Extra Sensitive for ultra-gentle hydration.

 

• Use calming toners. Our Rose Toner helps restore balance and reduce redness, making it perfect for use after a facial.
  
  

• Keep it clean but simple. Wash with lukewarm water only and avoid foaming or oil-based cleansers during the first 24 hours. In most facials or procedures, the skin barrier is disturbed, so skip makeup, heavy sweating, or anything that would require a deep cleanse. A gentle rinse is enough!
  

Don’ts:

• Don’t use scrubs and masks. Your skin has already been resurfaced, so give it time before reintroducing the Facial Scrub or Rejuvenating Mask. It’s tempting to extend that glow but trust your esthetician’s work and let your skin rest.
  
  

• Avoid direct sun. If you step outside, use SPF. We recommend our Protect Stick, packed with skin-loving ingredients and free from harsh chemicals that could irritate freshly treated skin. Reapply often, and don’t forget to wear a hat. Post-treatment skin is extra sensitive to the sun, so protecting your glow is essential.

 

• Hold off on essential oils or actives. Stick to our Extra Sensitive line until your skin feels fully settled.

 Recovery Phase: The Glow Stage

 

After a few days, once sensitivity subsides, you can slowly reintroduce your regular Honey Girl routine:

 

• Add back in the Facial Scrub to gently polish away any peeling.
• Treat yourself with the Rejuvenating Mask for a nourishing reset.
• Seal in moisture with Super Skin Food at night for deep repair, especially in areas where peels or dryness are common.

 

So, yes, you can absolutely use Honey Girl Organics products after a facial or procedure. Just remember to keep it simple, keep it gentle, and listen to your skin. Our organic, nutrient-rich blends are specifically designed to support natural healing, allowing your skin to recover quickly.

 

🐝Honey Girl Tip: Always ask your esthetician or dermatologist for their aftercare recommendations and let them know you’re using Honey Girl. They’ll love how clean and gentle our formulas are, but if you want to be extra sure it’s the perfect match for your aftercare, run your plan by them.

 

Cheers to glowing the natural way!
